Each year music pilgrims flock to the beautiful Georgian city of Bath to enjoy the classical festival that celebrates one of Europe’s favourite musical sons: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The festival – which has garnered critical acclaim for its high calibre performers – celebrates not only the music composed by Mozart but also that of composers for whom he provided inspiration. 2020 will be a particularly special year in which to attend, as the festival will celebrate its 30th birthday and is sure to be a spectacular occasion.

Performances take place in the stunning surroundings of Bath’s historical buildings, including the elegant Assembly Rooms and the Guildhall. Previous ACE tours to the festival have featured performances by the Belcea Quartet, one of the world’s leading chamber ensembles, as well as internationally renowned pianist Imogen Cooper, acclaimed cellist Leonard Elschenbroich and award-winning London chamber group, the Nash Ensemble.

Alongside the musical treats, our tour will take in further cultural delights on offer in the city of Bath. We hope to include a visit to the Holburne Museum – home to Sir William Holburne’s collection of fine and decorative arts – with an illustrated lecture given by our Tour Director on the Schantz fortepiano. We also look forward to a visit to the city’s iconic Roman Baths.

We will stay at the four-star Francis Hotel, set within a Grade I-listed Georgian building in the heart of Bath. This comfortable hotel is conveniently situated for concerts at the Assembly Rooms and The Forum.

This tour will be led by Sandy Burnett, MA, a musician and broadcaster who spent over a decade as one of the best-known classical music presenters on BBC Radio 3. He has conducted many orchestras and choirs, and has masterminded a complete cycle of J S Bach’s sacred cantatas.
